    Although I would have loved to choose George Washington I could not. As he lost almost every engagement until reinforced by Germans and supplied by guns and clothes from France. Not saying he wasn't a good general, just that it took quite a bit for him to reach his potential.

    I chose Patton, he not only changed history for us here in America but for the world. Europe and Russia's history is now tied to Patton and his accomplishments.

    Rodri, Sitting Bull and Geronimo were not military leaders by any means. They were great men in their own right and I do respect their acheivments a great deal, they were not however military leaders.
